my guy literally killing people :reddit-logo:
Reminder that spez once said that if there was an apocalypse that he planned to own slaves
as well all know, spez is a very strong man and a charismatic personality. totally capable of making sure his bodyguards dont shoot him in the head and loot his corpse
There's two possibilities:
-
He hates the hateful discussions on Reddit but is too afraid of his own userbase to do anything about it.
-
He loves the hateful discussions, but is such a coward he immediately folds whenever they get media attention.
Either way, he's a huge coward, one of the least ruthless CEOs on Earth, and he expects to be a warlord?
Number 2 is more likely
Jack Dorsey, more like Number 1
-
Nah, they'd break his legs and keep him chained up as a living blood bank/organ farm.
>nerd organs
no thanks, it's against my religion or whatever
Nerd or not a pair of kidneys and half a liver will get you quite a lot of radiation sickness medicine from the community of scientists holed up in the bunker
Spez:
Dissenting views on capitalism :geordi-no:
Dissenting views on coronavirus safety :geordi-yes:
:john-brown:
Nah... Too violent, slave owners are offended
:covid-cool:
Millions dead, but it's all good, take that horse dewormer and shit out your intestines, Reddit and spez approved™
The mods are escalating and locking subs now. They need to maximize publicity to make reddit look bad.
The only option Spez would have would be to remove mods and put up mods willing to break the blackout: those who are tolerant with misinformation.
This would essentially turn Reddit into Gab or Parler, and a bunch of pissed off users would be prime for radicalization and inviting them over here.

Thats a good one.
:sadness:
/r/196 has a lot of leftist tendencies. Some of the newer users may not have heard of us.
No more lifeboats. I’d rather individual users see what we’re about than some chucklefucks just try and turn a comm to r/196
Yeah, we'd need to make sure that wouldn't happen, but I see a larger userbase of leftists being a net positive.
Chapo was banned about 18 months ago, we have fallen out of a lot of people's memories. Showing the newer users what we are about could be beneficial. We all had to learn what Chapo was about through the volcel police and the hot couch at one point.
Yeah the more the merrier. We've got a strong enough culture now that we'd be fine with more people in the mix.
If we're going to do that we need the resources to handle it too. But yeah prime opportunity here. Also Reddit mods actually doing something good? I can't believe it!
Yeah, bringing individual users over would be dope. Lifeboat comms just immediately get targeted by wreckers though, which sucks.
If I see someone posting good leftist stuff on reddit I'll just send them a DM inviting them to check this place out.
:im-doing-my-part:
Debate, dissent, and protest on Reddit
...
Dissent is a part of Reddit and the foundation of democracy. Reddit is a place for open and authentic discussion and debate.
<locks thread immediately>
:reddit-logo: in a nutshell.
They're so cowardly Christ. No wonder everyone sees them as a joke. 4chan with a better UI and some mods at this point
Yeah new Reddit is uhh, quite something. And while old Reddit actually works, it looks very dated.
funny that he's all
authentic discussion and debate
and locked the comments
By commenting your disgust, I've learned there is a r/Fauci :cringe: :cringe:
We love our octogenarian bureaucrats, don’t we folks
It’s not like one of those porn subreddits, right?
It’s not like one of these porn subreddits right?
hilarious. excited to see america collapse in my lifetime over the most inane shit
I wish the big social media platforms were nationalised in some way. Not controlled by the NSA, but in a public trust. Reddit as a platform is a very important leap forward in social media and could have a tremendous amount of value. Because it's the private property of a libertarian, it started out defending child pornographers and then Nazis and now the people causing the pandemic. All of that utility is lost unless it migrates to another platform like Hexbear.
Lol /r/wayofthebern Supports this apparently.
Something stupid about freedom of speech. Apparently they're just libertarians over there I guess, never looked at it before just saw it in the linked subs from this post.
Someone unironically said "the only way to beat a bad guy who has freedom of speech, is with a good guy who has freedom of speech"
How's that going for you Bernie lmao
I think that subreddit might be an unironic op of some sort
One of the only things the libs were right about was that sub being an op
You know something is weird when the r/politics brigaders are the based ones in that thread.
I have similar suspicions but I've only seen one compelling argument (as in, more evidence than just asserting it's true, but also compelling) ever on reddit. The vast majority of people accusing WotB of being unauthentic usually just point out people there aren't fans of Biden as if that was literally impossible for non-supporters of Trump.
yes, but that's not evidence, and they'd say they same thing about here.
Yeah, that's the kinds of people Bernie attracted. A bunch of just vaguely angry western libs who want change but have no clue how the world works. The leftists were the minority.
They are not even libertarians; they are unironic antivacc, horse dewormer cultists who we can assume would be more than happy if vaccine advocacy was banned. I know this because I talked shit in that thread and got lectured buy some user (who seemingly has only ever posted in that sub, and quite a lot too) about how the word "antivacc" is actually just propaganda against antivaccers. (Well duh)
How’s that going for you Bernie lmao
Dude's a committee chairman in the safest of seats coasting towards retirement. I don't think he could give two shits about a subreddit.
Yeah, obviously. Just meant the irony of saying that while Bernie got stomped twice by the "bad guys with free speech"
Bernie got stomped twice
Bernie did just fine. He raised a bunch of money, mobilized a bunch of people, revived ideas that were dead and burned during the Clinton Admin, and now holds just about as much power as any single Senator can muster outside of Appropriations.
The subreddit is a bunch of chronically online weirdos who had nothing to do with it. They got stomped.
Either way I'm not associating that sub with the actual guy and I don't hate him or anything, I supported and helped canvas back in the day.
Shut-in nerds falling ass-first into massive wealth and influence in the tech world always end up turning into the worst kinds of mods on the internet.
Yeah, Reddit has been like this since the beginning, but I thought that they would've grown out of it as a company. No wonder they get zero investment and Reddit is regarded as the least valuable platform per user to shareholders in the social media business, despite all the shilling Reddit has been trying recently.
If Redditors really wants to shut down antivax crap then honestly the best course of action is to attack and brigade every single antivaxx subreddits.
Just spam them with pigpoopballs and copypastas like Chapo did to the SWERF subreddits
smh don't know where his support for "alternative views" were when we were discussing the merits of "haircuts" for slaveowners
Vaccine and Covid disinformation on Hexbear will be moderated/ removed as it is reported and noticed by the mod team.
FDA statement on why you should not use Ivermectin to treat or prevent covid 19.
Beau of the Fifth Column video on Ivermectin, the feed store, and public health.
Ivermectin is a neurotoxin. At incredibly low dosages, it is used to treat severe parasitic infestations in humans.
This comment is not medical advice and you should not be looking to Hexbear for any medical advice.
Unlike :reddit-logo:, we care about the health of our community.
I think his bit is looking like a chud but saying non-chud things in plain language. Don't know whether he leans left, is just a lib, or anything else about his specific politics, though.
Pretty sure he is. I think he's also been arrested for helping people cross the border, so he does a lot more than just make videos
A bunch of people in the /r/vaxxhappened megathread soooo close to getting the answer here :sicko-blur:
Oh wow, there’s a subreddit on dysphagia
i found that difficult to swallow.
Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and all social media has an incentive to leave this info up because it drives anger and it drives views and clicks. There is quite a bit of evidence these platforms literally are the cause of the anti-science rhetoric around the country.
I don't think that's true at all. IMO social media is just a symptom of the true cause.
The true cause is that most people are dummyheads, and that the propotion of dummyheads on the internet was far lower pre-smartphone era.
isn't it a bit late to be claiming this? Like ok if this was always your position and you never banned any sub for having opinions then this would be at least comprehensible but there have already been dozens of subs banned.
